Kyle Naughton's done a runner. It's not known where exactly, but I was flooded with two emails this afternoon advising that there had been some no show fiasco at the Chelmsford Megastore Shop Emporium jobby.
All was not lost however as it is said that Pete Crouch got down with the kids and was said by one happy correspondent to be 'very personable'. I don't know what warms my heart more. The fact that he was or the fact that I have have a readership that includes people who still use nice language like that.
Barnet have signed Calum Butcher on an eighteenth month loan.
The Daily Mail has either heard what the rest of us ain't or completely and utterly run out ideas. They're saying Everton are in for Begbie.
Alan Hansen - you know the one; he's the ex Liverpool defender with two rogue Chaplin moustaches where his eyebrows used to be. Anyway, him. He has got in on the whole 'Lawro predicts' gig and is now proffering his own predictions via The New Pools site. The scathing sweatie has the Villa away game down as a home win.
Speaking of rogues, the threat of free luxury end scarf from Savile Rogue would appear to have well and truly captured the imagination of the HH masses. Winners of goods various will be announced on a weekly basis. So do email or message me and you shall be hat bound. There's a few goodies floating about and I keep nothing (just ask the bewildered Mde de H) so you will get what ever comes my way.
BIOYC!

Ooh Harry. 1st
Knowing that I will never win anything - and with my qualifications, looks and personality do not expect to, I was just wondering if yuo could send me something anyway.
It could be a Spurs book, a scarf, a hat, a lukewarm fart even.
Anyway, I live in hope, next to the layby with the mobile homes
Didn't you hear? 2nd is he new 1st
I'll even have that active agenda. Bit of woolly tape, a kazoo, some string and a plastic mpustache and it'll be recycled into a great Xmas present for the Missus
Reply to Trembly:
what happens when I want a number two then?
Reply to Sid_Trotter:
I'll put my name in for a kazoo. They're proper useful they are. And the plastic moustache would be useful for impersonating Mark Lawrenson, sneaking into MOTD and twatting everyone bar Mr Chips of course.
Whi is Mr Chips?

Big game v The Villa. If we win that I am convinced we are genuine top 4.....a draw and its a (well) hung jury, a loss wont happen, Hansen is indeed a cad

Lawro's gone for a home win as well. 2-1.
Proper f**ked, you lot.

Thanks HH
A spud with the nick 'JimmyG2' came on our Villa blog and said
"We are flying at the moment but you have a good home record apart from losing to who?.Oh yes Wigan. By that reckoning as our away performances are better this year should make us run out about 15-0 winners."
I regard this as a most perceptive reading of the form book. Everyone knows you yids are as sharp as tacks and I'm sure you would mind a poor, potless goy appropriating this to his own advantage.
William Hill are only quoting odds up to a score of 10-0 and the best Betfair can do is 22.01 on a total score of 7 or more. Can I do better than this?
Good luck on Saturday. I'm sure you'll understand if I say I hope you get stuffed. I offer these comments cordially
Its so nice to get a rival fan on here who aint a spammer or a woolworth
welcome churchill indeed
20th. So I claim The Abi Clancy Muff as a prize
I hear the ar5ena1 shop are putting out a Henry glove puppet just in time for Xmas.
I can't remember anyone mentioning Alfie Stokes

I love to come here because it's funny. Yiddish thing, I guess. And you don't take yourself too seriously, which is the main fault of the silly, self absorbed masturbators at the Emirates.
HH is becoming an institution.
Reply to churchil:
That's strange because most people believe he's just escaped from one.
i think kyle naughton was down the tatoo parlour,he probably got held up,important stuff you know,
what about some high quality spurs lingerie for one of the wags on here,as a prize,of course my missus is imaginary but i can always get one the hookers i use to wear it,
hansen and lawro backing the villa,they weren't impressed by our 9-1 win,yes we did win 9-1....
bound to be a draw then 1-1,that'll do me,but like toddspur says if we win, i might start taking over the players job and saying we can finish in the sky 4...COYS

Can someone shut these berks up?
Reply to TMWNN:
No. It's a total impossibility. Perhaps it's a plc thing. Levy and Co. encouraging these little tidbits to be said by our players to "stimulate" the share price? I wish they'd just get on with achieving it instead of talking about it, personally.
Naturally it contains the legend...
"We believe we have the ability to finish in the Top 4"
Really? Whether it's Redknapp, Jenas, or another someone seems to throw this message out every couple of months. Come on down Peter Crouch, it's your turn!
Interestingly when talking about this ability and this quality we have Crouch said:
"There's Niko in midfield and Tom Huddlestone, those two pull the strings. We have players who can open up defences, creative players like Modric, such fantastic players."
No mention of Jermaine Jenas there. How odd.
"We all believe there is enough ability to get in there but we don't want to talk too much."
Well Peter old bean (excuse the multitude of puns there), how's about all "the lads" be quiet from now on. You aren't likely to ever win 9-1 again, so stop getting carried away.
On the whole it seems like "Crouchy" thrived with the whole talking thing, not content with waxing lyrical about our quest to gatecrash the Sky 4 - he then goes on to describe in detail an event concerning his Liverpool days with Rafa - in which "he pulled me off."

I like the related story at the bottom too, about a certain bloke who likes a point and a shout. It makes me laugh inside.
ye wannabe TOP FOUR are pathetic,i just come on here to have a laugh and to see how you MINNOWS are talking yourselves up,looking forward to putting three past you soon
Reply to churchil:
excuse me while i get sick,ha ha hahahaha
Reply to haleysvomit:
Oh dear, who left the child gate open?
FYI, Top Four is a made up achievement - you haven't actually won anything in sooo long that it's the only thing that gives you any credibility.
'ye'
How quaint. Not sure we've ever had a medievil toilet cleaner on here before.
Welcome

I think you're onto something there with the 'stimulating' the share price theory.
There is no other reason why a professional football club's manager and players would so regularly and mercilessly whore themselves out to the press.
Even Benny A&E had a little cameo in this 'please sponsor us, we're in a lot of papers' campaign, and he hasn't spoken for so long, some believe he's actually a Trappist monk. This belief would also go a long way in explaining the recent booze fuelled antics of the players. No 'wife beater' for this lot; our boys are hanging out of cars, night clubs, their trousers and that slag Lloyd, completely wasted on high end, high octane Trappist sauce.
Going on the assumption that there's no such thing as bad publicity, perhaps that too is part of the campaign.

ye could not beat stoke let alone a wife,ye piss artist mid-table(at best)club hahahahahahaha
Reply to haleysvomit:
You totally misunderstand our aims and ambition. We only want to finish fifth.
We realised long ago that the anticipation is always more fun than the realisation and that philosophy runs throughout the club which is why we sack our managers the moment they look like changing our own particular status quo.
And hey if it makes you smile that's a double whammy for us.
Look, I don't think we are the best team in the country but we're in the top one. Obviously wishful thinking on my part but I have just seen the film.
